Years ago, several ancient clans ignored the warnings, attempting to seize land while Dragon Country was in distress. And what was the result?
Years of calamity ensued, and these ancient clans were wiped out completely.
Although the official side also suffered significant losses, their resolve was made clear.
Over the years, the official power has grown stronger, while the ancient clans, although united, are gradually waning in influence.
However, no matter how much the official power strengthens and their weapons advance, some things still cannot be achieved through modern technology.
These ancient clans hold too many interests and control too many secrets.
Perhaps the official side, having been at a loss with them before, now wants to use Lin Beichen as a sharp blade to test their depth?
"Great Elder, I don’t understand your words. I’m a straightforward person, so please be direct!"
Elder Sun complained.
The Great Elder looked at Elder Sun, helplessly.
This old man had been hot-tempered all his life, having suffered because of his temper early on, yet still unchanged.
"My meaning is simple. We should not act ourselves, but rather gather other forces.
Lin Beichen can kill beyond peak experts, so sending ordinary masters is pointless. To kill him, we must employ experts who have crossed the Death Gate, and other than Mr. Li Jiang, we cannot move anyone else."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently.
The Death Gate Realm has always been the extreme they wanted to surpass.
However, crossing this gate is not something that can be achieved through mere effort or innate talent.
Throughout history, among countless beings, how many have truly broken through this point?
Those who have crossed the Death Gate, though not becoming immortals, have surpassed the limits of lifespan.
To them, the mortal body is but a dispensable thing.
With Mr. Li Jiang personally taking action, killing Lin Beichen would be a mere trifle.
"Great Elder."
As everyone was filled with joy and excitement, a hand reached out from the crowd.
Everyone looked towards the person, who, dressed in a Daoist Robe and appearing to be in his fifties, was not an elder, but a senior from the Alchemy Team.
"Mr. He, what is your opinion?"
Although the person was not an elder, as the leader of an Alchemy Team, he was still respected.
The Great Elder smiled and indicated that the person could speak freely.
"Great Elder, in my opinion, there is no need to have Mr. Li Jiang take action for now."
Mr. He quickly said, holding a notebook.
"Over the years, we have established many connections by gifting valuable elixirs. There are at least five households with masters who have crossed the Death Gate.
Though my cultivation is low, I have heard that even among Death Gate masters, there is a distinction in strength.
Mr. Li Jiang crossed the Death Gate a hundred years ago and even among Death Gate masters, he is at the peak. To deal with Lin Beichen, why trouble Mr. Li Jiang personally?"
Mr. He’s words, delivered rapidly, won a nod from everyone.
He was right; there are distinctions within every realm.
Mr. Li Jiang is at the peak among Death Gate masters, just one step away from breaking through the Celestial Gate.
"Great Elder, we worship so many experts every year. Now that we have trouble, it’s time for them to act.
We can still summon three Death Gate masters!"
Upon hearing this, everyone discussed it briefly and decided on a strategy.
The Great Elder himself would step forward and invite these experts to take action.
Even if Lin Beichen had broken through to the Death Gate Realm, it was unlikely he could withstand three Death Gate masters.
Everyone smiled, thinking they had solved the matter, but in the crowd, one person looked worried.
Qi Meisheng.
His sister’s whereabouts were still unknown, neither dead nor alive. According to all returned information, Lin Beichen had taken his sister deep into the mountains, never leaving her side, which made him anxious.
Women are inherently vulnerable and easily coveted.
With his sister’s lack of skill, what if Lin Beichen had humiliated her?
As if sensing Qi Meisheng’s worry, an alchemist next to him showed concern and softly said:
"Qi Meisheng, don’t worry too much. Lin Beichen is unaware of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion’s strength. This time, with the Great Elder inviting three peerless experts.
Once Lin Beichen hears, he will likely be scared to death and come to apologize. When we capture him then, we will interrogate him, and he will not dare to hide your sister’s whereabouts."
Hearing this, Qi Meisheng forced a smile.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a sound of thunder outside.
Qi Meisheng was slightly puzzled; it had been dry recently, with no sign of rain.
Why would thunder suddenly roar in the clear sky?
As he thought, a voice came from outside.
"Lin Beichen is here. Are you all cowards in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?"
A huge crash echoed.
The massive doors of the hall shattered like being hit by a thousand-pound boulder.
Everyone was shocked, turning to see gales blowing outside the hall, trees collapsing, fierce winds snapping through the vegetation, and people falling, crying in agony.
The entire Medicine Immortal Pavilion was instantly shaken.
"Lin Beichen, he dares to come here alone? Does he think he can destroy our Medicine Immortal Pavilion by himself?"
Elder Sun was the first to rush out, roaring angrily.
The tranquility of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion was disrupted as people rushed out of various buildings.
Wei Yiyuan lay on the ground, staring dumbfounded at Lin Beichen, his eyes filled with shock.
Lin Beichen floated in the air, surrounded by gales as if bearing the force of ten thousand pounds, resembling a celestial being descending, unstoppable!
At this moment, Lin Beichen’s eyes held no emotion, only a deep, oppressive calm.
"You are Lin Beichen?"
Mr. Meng stared at Lin Beichen in terror, his soul almost leaving him.
"Mr. Meng, just figuring it out now?"
Qi Liuyan sighed, pulling down the silk scarf on her face, revealing her stunning beauty.
"Miss Qi, why are you here, and is he really Lin Beichen?"
Seeing Qi Liuyan, Mr. Meng gasped sharply.
According to the latest information, Qi Liuyan had been abducted by Lin Beichen and was missing.
They had exhausted all methods and channels for information but found no clues.
No wonder Lin Beichen couldn’t be found; he had invaded their home.
Hiding right under their noses!
They considered every possibility but never thought Lin Beichen would break into the Medicine Immortal Pavilion alone.
Lin Beichen’s name was a nightmare for the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Recently, no, it should be said for the past hundred years, the biggest incident at the Medicine Immortal Pavilion was Lin Beichen killing a Law Enforcement Elder.
These days, everyone had been discussing him, yearning to flay him alive!
However, they all knew if Lin Beichen stood before them, they would likely have no courage to face him.
At around twenty years old, at such a young age, he had broken through beyond the peak, reaching the Death Gate.
Such talent, perhaps even Mr. Li Jiang could not compare.
When the news reached the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, Mr. Li Jiang had made a significant remark.
"Who of my old friends has reincarnated now?"
Initially, they did not understand the deeper meaning of Mr. Li Jiang’s words.
It wasn’t until the elders’ meeting that they revealed there was still such a realm above the peak, the Death Gate.
The human limit is the peak, while beyond the peak is a realm that can only be reached through exhaustive scientific and all other means.
For those nearing the end of their lifespan, they can make no further progress, yet unwilling to accept this fate, they search for opportunities to see if they can be reborn through death.
To achieve rebirth, two conditions must be met.
First, find a wondrous object of heaven and earth. Among the myriad things in this world, there are always some that have changed their properties over time and can host a soul.
Second, extracting the soul requires an incredibly mysterious state to completely sever the connection with the physical body.
Any hesitation in this process will result in instantaneous death.
Throughout history, among countless beings on this planet, how many have broken through the Death Gate Realm?
Lin Beichen, at an age still viewed as a youth by outsiders, had reached a height everyone desires but cannot attain.
And now, he has invaded their mountain gate...
